New to AMD

RETZ · August 25, 2018

Okay, so i just upgraded from my intel core i5 to a ryzen 5 2600x. When I took my ssd and put it in my new amd rig, i was having a blue screen (SYSTEM_ EXCEPTION) which i search for the in the internet was drivers. So what I did was, i use the reset option in windows which will keep my files but will uninstall my programs. So that method just works fine and windows boots again, like it was really a fresh install. Then i install some basic programs like chrome etc.. and I also install ryzen master from amd site, and then I updated windows. And yesterday I was playing with ryzen master, and was just working just fine. And then I change the ram speed in ryzen master because it was weird that it was only showing that it was running at 1100-ish which my ram is 2100mhz. So what I did was change that to 2100, so I click apply and it restarts my pc and then The blue screen hits again, the same error (SYSTEM_EXCEPTION) drivers problem. And even if I restart my pc it always shows that same exact blue screen error.

I really don't know why this happens. I also updated windows and never thought it would happen again. I really don't know how to make this system stable yet. Maybe u guys have something to say about it. Or have a solution on this kind of problem or just maybe completely avoid ryzen master? And instead use bios for overclocking?

I'm resetting my pc all over again, there was no other choice. Diagnostic doesn't even help.

can you boot into system? Or you just keep restarting and hitting the blue screen? (Haven't used the Ryzen master yet so dont know if there is an option to OC after every restart, although thats unlikely..)

By start, I would strongly reccomend using BIOS for long term stable and most importantly safe OC as Ryzen Master tend to spike voltage too high. And now to the problem with hitting the blue screen, If I'm not mistaken, ssd with windows cant be switched just like that within multiple PCs, the best sollution would be to do a clean WIN10 install

Windows knows you've switched PCs because of all the drivers that are installed for intel and intel related things. So reinstalling it was a good choice. Other than that.. Use Bios for everything. That's my advice. The only software OC program I trust it Extreme OC Utility for Intel. And that's it. But I always use bios for everything. Much better, safer, more stable..
